Help tuning my CV B52
Hey guys. I posted a thread a few days ago asking for advice on which components to buy for my '14 SGS. I ended up going with a CV B52 amp, focal 165 KRC's, BT line leveler and BT brackets. I got most of it installed last night. Do you guys have any recommendations on how to go about tuning this? I was figuring to set the gains with a DMM and then adjust bass/treble from there. It appears the gain on the amp can only be adjusted by the remote ****. Is this correct or am I looking at it wrong? Should I be in HP or flat setting? Anything else to be aware of? Thanks for any help you guys can give.

I have a CV B54, it has gain controls on the side. I think the remote is just a option.

All I could find on mine is sensitivity and frequency.

O ok. That makes a little more sense thanks. I figured that would be the same as on the PBR for the hi level input to turn the amp on.

Ok not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I downloaded the test tone onto a thumb drive and the HU just keeps saying reading....

Is the file a .mp3? It should look something like this 1000Hz 0dB.mp3

Try another thumb drive with only the test tone on it. The thumb drive has to formatted to Fat32.

It's a brand new thumb drive never used before. Let me see if I can figure out the fat32
